Split or break wire on intersection

e14 Contributor

I'm trying to fillet (round) the corners of my board. After I've created the arc, sometimes I can DEL the extra end bits left over from the straight edge and sometimes the entire edge gets deleted. What causes this difference? I'd like to know how to force a wire to break another wire at the intersection.

    eagle connects lines only if the endpoint of one of the lines is

    placed exactly on the other line.

    Plain intersections do not result in a connection.

     

    Alternatively to using the miter command, you could draw the outline

    using the wire command using 'radius' or 'curve' parameters (see help

    wire)
